Merchants and employees of the Downtown area are encouraged to participate in the employee permit program, as it allows all day parking in select areas of the Downtown while enhancing customer parking turnover within the prime downtown locations. Parking permits are free or cost a nominal fee, and help to ensure that not only do employees not have to worry about their vehicle, but also helps to ensure that your customers are able to find parking to shop at your business. For more information, please view the Downtown Parking Management Plan (PDF).
